To make it work do the following.

The footnote symbol linking the topics is the #. Therefore, Select custom foot not in word and change it to a #.

Here is a snippet of a wrd basic macro that does this:

Sub MAIN
InsertFootnote .Reference = "#", .NoteType = 0
End Sub

When you end up in the foot note field type in the topic name.

To link to titles it is the $ footnote,

Sub MAIN
InsertFootnote .Reference = "$", .NoteType = 0
End Sub


and to link to keywords it is the K foot note.

Sub MAIN
InsertFootnote .Reference = "K", .NoteType = 0
End Sub

Actually to aid me in creating RTF files I create all the necessary macros (with the macro recorder) and then created a custom toolbar in word to use. Inserts page breaks, titles, headings, formats them etc. all at the click of butons. i hope the above has given you some ideas.
